Paddy McGuinness calls Love Island star a 'disgrace' ahead of Soccer Aid match

Paddy McGuinness has started the fighting talk early by branding Love Island ’s Tommy Fury a “disgrace” ahead of their football match for Soccer Aid and UNICEF.

The TV presenter, 49, is set to play for England in the celebrity-packed game as new dad Tommy, 24, will compete for the opposing team.

In the clip, the boxer could be seen walking around topless showing off his washboard abs and rippling pecs.

Funny man Paddy then hilariously shouts out "Get it away son... get it away. No one wants to see it."

Tommy, who is dating fellow ex-Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, 24, can be seen laughing as he takes the mocking on the chin.

Later on the two shared a beer as they wound down after another day of training, with Paddy once again taking the Micky out of his pal, quipping: "These little legs are a disgrace."

Sharing the clip with his two million Instagram followers, he wrote: “I’ve got a lot of time for this lad but this kind of behaviour is outrageous!!!!”

Loving the banter between the pair fans rushed to comment on the post.

One person wrote: “Paddy lol, so bloody funny you gotta admit Tommy is gorgeous!”

“Tommy red carded before the game,” laughed another user.

While someone else joked: “‘Nobody wants to see it’ c’mon Paddy that’s not the attitude! (but also thank you for simultaneously giving the people what they want)”.

Tommy Fury will swap the ring for the pitch on Sunday evening when he steps out at Old Trafford to represent the World XI at this year's Soccer Aid.

Some have questioned why Fury, who was born and raised in Manchester, has opted to don the shirt of the World XI rather than England's.

However, that has since been cleared up as the young boxer is actually of Mauritian descent on his mother Chantal’s side, while his father John Fury is of Irish Traveller descent.

The Love Island star will be joining Marvel star Tom Hiddleston, former EastEnders actor Danny Dyer, Olympian Mo Farrah and Line of Duty's Martin Compston on the pitch.

Soccer Aid For UNICEF 2023 kicks off at 19:30 on Sunday evening and will be available to watch on ITV1 and ITVX.
